I went over all the lights and they are good, I looked for a kinked or pinched wire and didn't find any???? where should I start with this???? all bulbs are good all the way around any ideas Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 3, 2011, 11:07 AM Post #2 of 4 (1615 views) Re: 02 chev van brake light Sign In Sounds like you have a bad ground at that light. It could be right in the socket itself or further down the ground circuit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. tusseltussel User Nov 3, 2011, 11:11 AM Post #3 of 4 (1600 views) Re: 02 chev van brake light Sign In hmmmm sounds good. seems like it may have gotten brighter when I jiggled it around ( the brake light that is) now it could have just been me but I will look into it now will let ya know how it turns out, thanks Edit: Just went out and looked at it and you are right it was a ground problem in the socket it's working good now but I will have to replace that socket to be sure it doesn't happen again. Thats why that cop was following me last night. good to know. thanks again it works now with the lights on the turnsignal on and the brake pedal pressed.... win (This post was edited by tusseltussel on Nov 3, 2011, 11:25 AM) Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 3, 2011, 11:58 AM Post #4 of 4 (1583 views) Re: 02 chev van brake light Sign In Glad to hear it worked out for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
